Howdy all! :wave: Long time, no see. 
It's probaby been a few months since I've been in here. The last few months have not been the greatest for me.....between a few out of town interviews, bike problems and being sick a time or two and working like a dog lately, I've not ridden nearly as much as I was before.
Although...with all that, I have not gained back too badly.
To recap:
Last year started around the 370 range (estimated) and ended around 307. It looks like currently, I've put a few back on...maybe at about 315 or so now. Desperately trying to get back "in the groove" this year, but its hard with so many outside issues limiting my riding. I bought a trainer (just last week) to help...we'll see how that goes.

Started road cycling on 3-1-06. My goal is to be at 199 by Sept 1 (-8.5 per month), and at 185, (or what my body will accept) by Dec 1, 2006.
At 5'10' my Med Giant OCR Limited-seems to be awesome to this road cycling newbie.
3/1/06 First day 250 LBS
3/8/06 36 Miles later 247 LBS (-3 LBS).
3/15/06 12 Miles later 244 LBS (-3, -6 total).
3/22/06 25 Miles later 243 LBS (-1,-7 total).
Thanks for the inspiring stories. (KingTermite-inspiring 63/55 lbs loss)
See you next week.

Down to 234, now the clothes I haven't worn since Dec 04 are fitting again! I had to get a new belt again. Getting ready to have the uniform service at work replace my uniforms with smaller ones for the third time this year. I willmake it to 200 this year.

Any other success stories?
Potential Subway commercial candidates?

March 2005: Body weight 581 pounds......not a typo...581 pounds. In a wheelchairbound, on O2
March 2006: Body weight 249 pounds......did a 106 mile weekend tour on the anniversary date of my bariatric surgery
I currently ride daily and cycling is the primary exercise that allowed me to lose as much weight as I did in combination with the bariatric surgery I had. Drop by my blogs at either https://theamazingshrinkingman.blogspot.com or https://spaces.msn.com/theamazingshrinkingman/ to read the whole story, the blogspot is the oldest and contains the earliest parts of the story. I'm also writing a book about my journey back to health and intend to culminate the story with completing the Lotoja in 2007. Not a bad goal for a 2 1/2 year period!

thanks and great job on your success too!!! for me it was just a matter of getting the engine started!! in fact i am down to 207.5 lbs this week. isn't it great to adjust weight loss goals downward! lets see you got me by a couple of pounds. weather is suppose to be near 60 degrees tomorrow. i think i need to find a way to get of the office early!! keep it up!!! race on!!!! later.

No change this week. Last week was rough as my body was screaming for more food... so I fed it. I felt better, albeit guilty, afterwards. This week I'm back on track with the food intake and riding stronger than last week. Also, I'm swimming better and feel a little stronger in the gym so maybe the extra food was worth not losing any more fat (maybe I gained muscle?). The journey continues...
